Summer Transfer window

It’s a really important point this imo. £30m is a great deal still for us and currently, and I might be being a bit harsh here, Jobe hasn’t even been playing like a player we’d want to spend half of that on this coming season. Potential wise yes it’s massive undoubtedly but this coming season we need players to perform and if we’re spending £15-20m on players they need to be at PL level now and I’m not sure he is just yet. Going somewhere like Dortmund where the pressure is off and he’ll be in a consistent, solid team at the top end of the table dominating games most weeks will be great for his development.

 

I’d 100% take lower with bigger sell in. Bank a wedge now but I am certain Jobe moves in for at least double whatever we get.

I’d take 25 plus 30%, in full confidence we get smoother 15plus in 2 years.

 

Stewart, Clarke and Watson are already in the top 10 sales in club history then add Jobe and it's 4 in the top 10 all under Speakman/KLD. Nice to eventually have a properly ran football club.

 

Might be off here but a ‘hand shake’ isn’t worth owt really. KLD could say yes that was the price if we remained in the championship.

 

Sky reporting £25m

 

Why do we give a ****e about Mark’s hand when he’s leaving ? I’d hack his arm off for 15 million

 

I can see it. That would be 30m euro and a sell on fee.

 

they’re just going off sky Germany who’s source is Dortmund / Bellingham

Intrigued thinking who they fancy as the replacement

 

I reckon we play le fee deeper and get a creative 10?

 

To be honest mate, I'm enjoying it all because I believe the club know what they're doing.

We won't know the 'fee' even when it's announced ...

... there are so many clauses, add ons and payment periods these days.

There could be €10/15,000 more, in time, than the figure announced and, at the end of the day, none of our business

 

The replacement is already at the club. I see Hjelde as a natural number 8 in hiding

 

I don’t agree with you on this we finished a comfortable 4th in the league and we didn’t win a single game he missed

 

I’d take 25m plus Duranville like.

 

I’m thinking more a 4-3-3, similar to allardyce where he had a holder (khirchoff) then mvilla and cattermole pressing high. I think ELF will be class at that, looked brilliant from deep in the final.

 

Impossible to tell but it’s nice knowing they’ll have a proper plan in place

 

can’t see us moving away from the 4-4-2 defensive shape.

 

This would be the correct thing to do

 

Need more physicality imo. Maybe we move further towards a true 4-3-3
